Organization iVolunteer (www.ivolunteer.in)
One-liner Dheepam has moved on form the corporate world to the social sector and manages the iVolunteer operations in Chennai
Background: Dheepam is a Textile engineer from Anna University and worked as an apparel designer with a large Italian outfit. She followed it up with a part-time MBA from Loyola College. Before she stepped in to the social sector, she was totally indulged in the corporate grind and confesses that she did not even remotely have plans of changing tracks.
First-Steps: She had taken a break from her corporate career during her MBA program. During this period she happened to get engaged with a microfinance institution that her brother was working with. While, she was collecting testimonies from the beneficiaries of the microfinance, she was moved by the change small amounts of money produced in the lives of the poor. She quotes the example of a lady who having borrowed 5000 rupees to purchase 4 cycles and rent them out, was able to lead a respectable life. Moved by the impact she saw she could produce in people’s lives, she decided to plunge in to the social space.
Current Role: She has been associated with iVolunteer for around 4 months now. She enjoys her association with iVolunteer for the opportunity provided to work with a large set of NGOs and volunteers and help achieve greater good. Also she has flexibility with planning her time and work areas. The flat structure of the organization is another positive for her as she can even talk directly to the director of the organization, a privilege she did not have in the corporate world.
As a relationship manager, she interacts with the three constituencies of Volunteers, NGOs and Corporate organizations. Her main focus is in spreading the awareness of volunteering opportunities and the need for volunteers. She understands that most people who want to volunteer face the hurdles of not knowing where to begin and how to go about it. She helps get people get over these hurdles. Currently she is targeting colleges in Chennai such as Loyola and MCC to raise volunteering awareness. She plans to soon visit and expand iVolunteer reach to Coimbatore as well.
Memorable Moments: Of all she has done and seen so far, she is extremely inspired by the altruistic and benevolent nature of the person running Shelter Home in Chennai. It is a home for HIV+ infected children and currently 26 children are taken care of at the facility. She points out that the children are given good care and appear very cheerful and healthy. But he funds all this out of his own earnings where as his wife’s earnings take care of the family expenses. She adds that even though all his attempts at raising funds have not been fruitful, he marches on.
Another recent event that has moved her is the celebrations of Grand Parents’ day on September 13th. She organized the celebrations at Sevalaya, an old-age home and an orphanage. She was amazed at the extremely exuberant attitude of the grandparents. They merrily sang and danced and one grandpa aged 75 delivered a famous dialogue of a very old Tamil movie Manohara. She was elated that she could make a difference and bring a smile to all that day.
Challenges: She observes that NGOs continue to face funding issues. The issue is complicated by some corporate organizations that are hesitant to support programs without any direct benefit to them and count them as ‘dead investment’. Also, unlike their larger counterparts, smaller NGOs do not have the know-how of funding opportunities and preparing quality documentation to qualify for existent funding.
Message: Dheepam appeals to all to take out at least 1 hour out of their week and give it back to the society; that way, she says, we can spread a lot of happiness and smiles. Massive number of volunteers is required to aid community betterment. She advises to take the plunge into volunteering without too much analysis assuring that any cost will be overshadowed by much greater benefit.
She would like to send out the message to all NGOs that iVolunteer is there to help NGOs on multiple avenues be it in raising volunteers, providing publicity to NGOs efforts or arranging volunteer management sessions.
She appreciates the effort of all the current volunteers. She encourages them to bring to volunteering the same professionalism and commitment they take to their regular work. For example, in case a volunteer is unable to make an NGO an appointment, she requests the volunteer to inform the concerned. Such measures would go a long way in improving NGO-Volunteer relationships.
About iVolunteer: iVolunteer is an initiative of MITRA and is working to create a volunteering movement in India. iVolunteer sees its role as that of a catalyst, which will create happy volunteering experiences for both volunteers and non-profit organizations. In order to create happy volunteering experiences, iVolunteer works through its Volunteer Centers across India and various Non-profit partners to a create a volunteering infrastructure that will reduce the time and cost of recruiting volunteers and there by making it easier for volunteers to make a difference in their local community.
